I'm not going to try and repeat everything from those two sources. Also, decent documentation for UDP now comes included with X-Plane (it didn't when I wrote the first tutorial). There's already a pretty good site for info on UDP and X-Plane, although it's a little outdated. If you need one of the previous tutorials, please refer to the X-Plane UDP Index to check for that version. The format of the X-Plane UDP packets was changed somewhere in between there, so I don't know if either will work for X-Plane 7. Previous versions were made using X-Plane 6.51 and X-Plane 8. This tutorial has been updated using X-Plane 9.30 beta 11.
X PLANE CONTROL DOWNLOAD
From there, you can download a demo version of the simulator, and see what makes it so great. If you still don't understand any of that, go check out the X-Plane website. As for the Visual Basic, well, to be able to make use of the data you have to have a program to do something with it, and Visual Basic is the programming language I use. The protocol that X-Plane uses to send/receive the data is UDP, hence the UDP in the title above. Besides its accurate flight model, X-Plane has another feature which makes it very powerful- it outputs flight data over a network, and allows certain parameters, such as control positions, to be sent back to it (and if you're using version 8.6 or newer, you only need one computer to do this). It comes packaged with additional programs that allow you to design your own aircraft and fly it in X-Plane. It has a very accurate flight model, making it very powerful not only for entertainment, but also as an engineering tool.
X-Plane is a popular computer flight simulator.
